I want to change the direction of the shadows in a template. But if I select all and change the angle, the other values (offset, radius, intensity) also changes. Thereby changing the perspective/thickness. I've googled and looked through the help. Anyone know a way other than changing every single one separately?

I have designer and photo (publisher trial) on windows. Plus photo and designer on iPad.

PS. I hope this was the correct place to ask?
 
I don't think there is a way of changing that one setting only on multiple objects sorry. I've only done it one at a time, or in selections of similar objects that all have the same shadow sizes.

There are likely to be more options for changing the directional setting in Affinity Designer than in Photo.

When I set shadows across multiple object I use the scale to object option. You could try turning that on when you change the light direction and see if that helps.

Alternatively you could ask on the Affinfity Users Forum. The professional graphics artists that use it always answer my questions for me within a day. There's a section for asking questions and for help. They are not digi-scrappers but they really know the software.

Thank you @Angela Toucan . Looking at it more closely it's only the offset that changes, at least in designer. And unfortunately the scale with object does not have an affect on that.

I'll ask in the forum you mentioned. I searched for you there and found the drop shadow thread. That was a great solution!
